Yes, I agree - despite Dumbdledore's plan/ancient plan. Because, by
the will of Harry's late parents, Sirius is his guardian (in addition
to being godfather). Sirius told that to Harry. Had Sirius been
cleared in PoA, Harry would have gone with Sirius. And I don't think
Dumbledore would have done anything to stop it.

Of course, that would changed some things: Sirius would have been with
Harry in QWC, most likely - Sirius would have known and possibly
figured out a thing or two about Crouch... and quite possibly, even if
the Crouch Jr. as Moody- hoax would have happened&all, I very strongly
doubt that DUmbridge would have become a DADA-teacher, not when Sirius
would have been available! Hmmm... Could Sirius have broken the curse,
being as *everyone* came to know his secret as it was? And Harry
certainly wouldn't have needed to battle Dementors... BUT would
Dumbledore have told Harry 'all', if not for Sirius dying because of
Harry's lack of information? How would the 6th year have gone?
